You get a few things here: very interesting insight into the Google culture, atmosphere and way of working (almost a follow up to "How Google Works"), but you also get a deep data driven and analytical viewpoint into how they have adapted the Human Resource function to their highly data driven culture. They still care about the individual (perhaps even more so), and use data as the diagnostic and tool to provide a better work environment, more active feedback and quantify and develop excellence. It is also clear that the culture starts from the top down, but I am sure at any company you could pick up some best practices and quickly apply them. A very good, solid business read. Review: Terrific book on HR / People Operations - What I love about this book is that it provides very clear and practical advice about what one can and should do for a range of HR processes and issues. It also provides a lot of food for thought and ideas to work towards since not every business can do the things that Google is doing in its people operations. Even if your company isn't anywhere near Google's size and reputation, there are a tremendous amount of useful insights, even for small and medium sized businesses. Mr. Bock has done an excellent public service by writing this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,632 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Social Aspects of Technology #222 in Business Management (Books) #332 in Leadership & Motivation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,085) | | Dimensions | 5.3 x 1.55 x 7.95 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1455554812 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1455554812 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | January 10, 2023 | | Publisher | Twelve | ## Images ![Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KQaUjm1tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Data driven empathy - who could have imagined? *by C***S on February 15, 2016* A great and entertaining book. You get a few things here: very interesting insight into the Google culture, atmosphere and way of working (almost a follow up to "How Google Works"), but you also get a deep data driven and analytical viewpoint into how they have adapted the Human Resource function to their highly data driven culture. They still care about the individual (perhaps even more so), and use data as the diagnostic and tool to provide a better work environment, more active feedback and quantify and develop excellence. It is also clear that the culture starts from the top down, but I am sure at any company you could pick up some best practices and quickly apply them. A very good, solid business read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific book on HR / People Operations *by C***F on April 20, 2015* What I love about this book is that it provides very clear and practical advice about what one can and should do for a range of HR processes and issues. It also provides a lot of food for thought and ideas to work towards since not every business can do the things that Google is doing in its people operations. Even if your company isn't anywhere near Google's size and reputation, there are a tremendous amount of useful insights, even for small and medium sized businesses. Mr. Bock has done an excellent public service by writing this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Contains some content that's very useful -- and some that is less so *by A***X on July 20, 2015* This book does have a lot of good, useful, and interesting information. Compared to another book I've read that also came out of Google (How Google Tests Software) I think this one is much better in terms of the content being actionable and thoughtful and, to my knowledge, reflecting how things actually work at Google. One thing that was frustrating about the software testing book is that it was very unreflective -- it simply told you what Google did, without discussing the pros and cons of various approaches. Work Rules! is much more thoughtful in terms of providing evidence that the techniques it discusses work. It even discusses some failed projects by HR -- er, I mean People Ops -- at Google, and why they failed. So, why not five stars? A few reasons. One is that there is a lot of space devoted to self-promotion of Google, which while not unexpected in a book written by Google's head of People Ops, doesn't add much to the reader's experience. Another is that a good chunk of the content is likely to already be very familiar to readers -- Bock spends a lot of time explaining what a normal distribution is, for example, or describing the Employee Resource Groups (i.e., various affiliation groups like the veteran's group or the parents' group) that are extremely common at companies of Google's size. The third problem is that "it's the economy, stupid" -- some of the content around hiring and compensation is likely specific to Google's particular situation, its success, the labor market and so forth when at the time covered by the book, and is probably not universally valid. The final problem is that while a lot of the "tactical" level advice is highly evidence-based, several of the high-level ideas, such as "it is better to hire the very best people than to hire merely okay people and train them" or "it makes sense to pay your best engineers an order of magnitude more than other engineers at the same level" or even "whiteboard coding interviews are a good way of assessing candidates" have very, very little evidence provided to support them. In many cases the evidence for these claims is based on a combination of cherry-picked anecdotes, one or two studies done decades ago and not on engineers, and a reasonable-sounding argument that makes sense until you realize that you could make an equally reasonable-sounding argument in the opposite direction. I would love to see a book that really picks apart and tests some of these assumptions. That said, it's a fun read with a decent amount of useful advice, which makes it a very solid four stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead - Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smart - Radical Candor: Fully Revised & Updated Edition: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/134728535-work-rules-insights-from-inside-google-that-will-transform-how](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/134728535-work-rules-insights-from-inside-google-that-will-transform-how) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
